Look around you

I walk across a meadow,
Almost empty but for me,
As I see a white dove,
Perched in a Dogwood tree

That struck me as odd, but no more
Than the scene I saw below.
A  lion on the right, a lamb on the left
Yet no hostility was shown.

The lamb and lion spoke as one
and my heart skipped a beat,
saying, "Look around you,
and let us be a lamp unto your feet."

I looked around curiously,
at that wonderful place.
Then I gasped and realised that
it was soon to be the end of days.

Sin

Sin is a mosquito,
Annoying and searching for prey.
And what else damage it can do, noone knows,
But there is a remedy, best if applied every day.

It repels the swarms, sending them back
to their dank, dark lair,
Having been denied their snack.
So, to repel sin use prayer.

Love is a three-legged race

Love is a three-legged race,
where cooperation works best.
You have to keep a steady pace,
or you will have to take a rest.
If you rush things, no good will come,
and this is a race you don't want to lose.
So take it slow, walk don't run.
Love or no love, which do you choose?

What is lost?

What is gained, but a cold,
From standing in a storm?
What is lost, but illness,
from entering the warm?

What is given, but sorrow,
by a greedy man?
What is taken back,
but by its master's hand?

My goal

Through this blog I simply aim to put my art and poetry on the web for all to see. I don't think I'm all that good, but I might be. One's opinion of themself is often clouded. For most they think they are better than they are, but I think that I'm not as good as people tell me I am. Well, anyway, I'll post drawings soon, along with my poems.
